    359-640 and 359-125 Redesign?

    What do you all think about this bullet but with one crimp groove?

    It would shorten it a touch.

    My goal being to end up with a bullet that has a single groove that’s .010” to .020” shorter.
    I’ve found the original is just kissing the maximum length that an 1873 likes.
    I think a little adjustment in the nose and the crimp groove could solve this.

    I would also love to see a redesign of the 359-125.
    Lengthened a touch to add a nice crimp groove for use in the 38/357. I think that would be an awesome choice for snub nose expansion and great for cheap light weight plinking in the lever guns.

    What does everyone think? Time for new designs?
    Who can draw these up? That’s above my pay grade 😂

    Thanks for looking!

    So after some research it looks like both of these have already been done. Great now I need to spend money right away. ����
